Mathys Tel chooses to stay at Tottenham

The French centre-forward was approached by Genoa regarding a potential transfer in January.


20-year-old French centre-forward Mathys Tel was approached by Genoa in January, along with several other clubs including Paris FC, AS Roma, Sunderland, la Real Sociedad, Francfort, Hambourg, and Atletico Madrid. In France, Olympique de Marseille, AS Monaco, and Lille also sought information regarding his situation. After being undecided during the transfer period, the player has chosen to stay at Tottenham following a discussion with his manager, Thomas Frank, who reassured him about his role and had given him more playing time in recent weeks.

In the current Premier League season, Tel has made 16 appearances, scoring 3 goals. The France U21 international, who has 20 caps and 12 goals for his country, joined Tottenham in July 2025 and is under contract until 2031. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €30 million; his permanent transfer from Bayern Munich was reportedly worth between €35 million and €40 million.
